Damage to the fusiform gyrus of the right inferior temporal cortex may result in a rare condition known as?
prosopagnosia: inability to recognize faces
Loss of ability to perform skilled motor activities are damaged to what?
Loss of ability to perform skilled motor activities is often due to damage to the motor cortex or the pathways that connect the motor cortex to the muscles. Other possible causes include damage to the cerebellum or basal ganglia, which are involved in coordinating movement. Additionally, damage to the spinal cord can also result in loss of skilled motor function below the level of the injury.
What would result from damage to the superior colliculi?
Vision damage
How do phloem form bark on a tree?
When the phloem is dead it causes bark to form on a tree. A secondary growth in the cortex result in the bark formation a a tree
What part of the brain does conciousness depend on?
Loss of consciousness is most likely with damage to alerting areas of the brain in the midbrain and brain stem. While the cortex is implicated in conscious processes, it is a large and redundant structure. Loss of cortex is more likely to result in a deficit of specific functions such as speech comprehension or production then complete loss of consciousness.
The effects of hyposecretion and hypersecretion of adrenal cortex hormones result in what?
Hyposecretion of adrenal cortex hormones causes Addison's disease, that is weakness, fatigue and weight loss. Hypersecretion of adrenal cortex hormones causes increased blood glucose or Cushing's syndrome.
What is the medical term meaning hypofunction of the adrenal cortex?
Addison's disease is the result of inadequate secretion of cortisol by the adrenal cortex.When your adrenal glands don't produce enough cortisol, it is called adrenal insufficiency. It can also be referred to as Addison's disease or hypocortisolism.
Is Addison's disease a result of deficit of glucocorticoids?
Yes. You are right. Addison's disease is caused by deficiency of the secretion of the adrenal cortex.
Damage to the fusiform gyrus of the right inferior temporal cortex may result in a rare condition known as?
prosopagnosia: inability to recognize faces
Damage to which of these areas would most likely cause death optic chiasm medulla temporal cortex or prefrontal cortex?
Assuming the damage did not involve an infection, the medulla. The medulla controls autonomic functions like respiration and blood pressure, which you do not consciously control. As these functions are vital to staying alive, losing function of the medulla would most likely cause death. Damage to the optic chiasm could cause full or partial blindness, depending on the location of the damage. Damage to the temporal cortex could result in impairments in object perception as well as memory. Damage to the prefrontal cortex could result in impairments of executive functions, some examples of which include working memory (holding an item, like a phone number, in mind), decision making, and problem solving.
What kind of deafness Can result from a blood clot in the primary auditory cortex?
A blood clot in any part of the brain can result in a stroke. It may also cause local damage, reducing or removing the ability to hear properly.
What would happen is the auditory cortex was damaged?
The most extreme result would be a complete loss of hearing abilities, but most damage is likely to affect only a certain part of hearing. The Auditory Cortex doesn't do the hearing, of course, but it's responsible for making sense of what is being heard. Major damage could prevent the understanding of language, while minor damage could distort and confuse specific sounds. Therapy should be able to heal minor damage.
Loss of ability to perform skilled motor activities are damaged to what?
Loss of ability to perform skilled motor activities is often due to damage to the motor cortex or the pathways that connect the motor cortex to the muscles. Other possible causes include damage to the cerebellum or basal ganglia, which are involved in coordinating movement. Additionally, damage to the spinal cord can also result in loss of skilled motor function below the level of the injury.
Why doesn't damage in the right visual cortex result in blindness of the right eye?
The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. Also the optic nerves cross over when they leave the eyes.
What is thickening of adrenal gland?
The thickening of the adrenal gland can be a symptom of cancer. If it is not the result of cancer then typically it is ignored and looked at five or six months later.
What kind of deafness can result from a blood clot in the auditory cortex?
Conduction!
Does the cortex wrinkle as a result of fluid filling the brain over the lifespan?
true
